LONDON Aug 12.-As anticipated on Wednes-
iay tho alterations the Lords have made In the
Land bill have been such as to almost upset the
situation. Mr. Parnell declared tonight that one
amendment alone restricting the powers OF the
rcnt-reducng clause diminished by one-haf the
value of the bill. As o matter OF fact II that
amendment be not struck out by Thursday next
the bill viii be all but useless for that class of ten
ants who are most In need of relief.
In that case / no prospect for
the autumn and winter but conflict
between the Irish people, thrown upon their own
resources on the one hand, and the landlords aud
the Coercion Government on the other Ihat the
Government intend 10 proclaim the Natohai
League Dol eve is nearly certain. have reason
TO know that Lord Salisbury's hope was to pro-
claim il tomorrow if the Lords amendments 10
the Land bill were disposed of in the House OF
Commons TONIGHT He desires. of course, to cover
lbs rcpressive act with the role of decency implied
in the completion of a so-caled remedial
measure before he puts Coercion IN
force but Mr.. Parnelrs opposition
tonight has compelled the Government to hold
over the consideration Of the Lords amendments
until Thursday next, that very likely nothing
violent will be done before then
Mr. Chamberlain announced in the House to-
night his intention of going to Belfast at no
distant date. He may succeed in arousng the pa
sons of the handful of Orangemen whom ne will

OH the farmers of Ulster he is not likely to have

that Ireland is not likely to be left alone In her
struggle against the tyranny which the Govern
ment seems inclined to display.
Evictions are continuing with vigor on the
Michlestowu estate In a few days the most ex-
citing scenes may be expected in that quarter.
Several shopkeepers in the town are to be put out
and they have made the most determined
efforts 10 barrcade their houses and be
ready to offer a bitter resistance to the
evlcting force. The permission OF these
evctons proves the insinceriy of the benevolent
pretensions of the Government toward the Irish
tenants. The Michlestown tenantry demand revis-
$50 which is actually less than what they would
b. likely to get if the Land bill III the form III
which it left the House of Commons were law to-
morrow yet. on the eve of the Land bill coming
into force the the Government is sending It's
troops TO assist IL driving these tenants from their
homes. l fear the influence of the landlord ele-
ment has proved too much for the
virtuous resolution of the Government. And as
for the support by the UnionIsts of the tenants
cause it has been most barefaced sham. They pro-
posed amendments to the Land bill which might
have been beneficial. but when it came to division
they voted against their own amendments.
The Parnellite candidate for the Carlow election
is The OGolmau Mahon, tine veteran cheftain and
OConnelfs nominator at the Clare election OF
IS2S He was member of the Irish party until
80 when heTetired owing TO temporary ill-health
He is one of the most interesting characters
that has sat in the House of Commons;
over ninety years of age he is tall and straight
as when he introduced the LIberator to Irish
politics sixty years ago. His intellect is as keen,
his humor as bright and his powers are as delight
fu as ever they were at any period of his extraor-
dinarv career. L, +. GIL, NJ. p.
